Students discuss folktales and read Tiger and The Big Wind, listening for animal characters for later discussion. In this language arts activity, students complete a T chart on characters and make a doll for one either chosen or...

This is a fantastic resource designed for learners to envision what it was like for the three million African-Americans who migrated to urban industrial centers of the northern United States between 1910 and 1940. After reading a...

Friction leads to movement, heat, and melting on such a small scale most people don't notice. A short simulation permits scholars to observe the reaction between atoms as they move together.  The simulation applies the concept of...

How would a pendulum work on the moon or Jupiter? To answer that question scholars control up to two pendulums including their location, length, mass, and amplitude. Added controls include changing the friction and strength of gravity....

Do you work better under pressure? Pupils explore pressure when altering fluid density, gravity, container shape, and volume. Units can be converted to kPa, atm, and psi. To finish, scholars describe pressure as a function of depth,...

We can't see most gases and we can't see things at the molecular level — but that's about to change! A simulation shows pupils the activity of molecules in a gas. The simulation allows scholars to vary the volume, heat, and...

What would happen if your entire world was flipped upside down? In addition to changing the distance and size of an object, lenses flip the image upside down. The simulation allows scholars to vary the object, move the object, move the...

Does size or mass impact gravitational pull? Scholars experiment with force pairs to answer that question. They can change the size, mass, and distance between the objects using an engaging simulatoin. This allows pupils to visualize the...

Does light affect molecules or does it go right through them? The simulation explores four different types of light: microwave, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet. Scholars alter the energy level of each as it is aimed at seven different...

Resistance is not futile, it is voltage divided by current. A creative simulation presents a wire graphic and allows participants to alter the area, length, and resistivity. As scholars increase or decrease a variable within the...

Why did the waves get into a fight? They were tired of each other's interference. Scholars observe the wave patterns from dripping water, sound waves, and light waves. They vary the spacing, build barriers, and increase the number...

Oxygen and carbon dioxide freely cross cell membranes. The simulation demonstrates the diffusion of these across a permeable membrane. To create a great visual for users, it graphs the balance of molecules as it changes throughout the...

Aquapores allow water to travel through cell membranes while keeping other molecules out. The animation offers an up-close look at these parts of the cell membrane. It explores multiple vantage points and shows the importance of these...

Diffusion rates change with differences in temperature. See it happen through a simulation that allows scholars to explore the rates of diffusion at five different temperatures. It also allows young scientists to trace the movement of a...

Trying to learn through diffusion rather than simply studying the material rarely works for scholars. This simulation helps make learning diffusion fun. Pupils add a drop of dye to water and observe the diffusion as the molecules bounce...

Students practice the concept of the other past tense, the imperfect via the provided worksheet and the suggested web site.

In this globalization vocabulary instructional activity, high schoolers are required to determine the meaning of vocabulary used in a discussion about globalization.

Students read poetry and a biography of poet Anne Carson as part of a creative writing lesson. For this poetry analysis lesson, students read about the poet, read her poetry, and analyze a photograph to then write a poem. Students write...

Students inspect the essential rules for subject and verb agreement. They read two excerpts from the novel, The Golden Ass, and identify and correct the errors.

For this protein synthesis worksheet, students answer 14 short answer questions about the process of making proteins from DNA.

In this preposition worksheet, 5th graders focus on the usage of "from" and "of." Students complete 34 fill in the blank questions writing the correct preposition where appropriate.

In this gerund and infinitive practice instructional activity, students fill in the blanks in 15 sentences with the correct forms of gerunds or infinitives. Students also respond to 4 short answer questions regarding gerunds and...

In this English vocabulary skills activity, students respond to 12 multiple choice and 6 fill in the blank questions regarding words related to crime.

Using the online Visual Thesaurus, nascent actors work in groups to analyze and interpret Hamlet's "To Be Or Not To Be" monologue. Individuals then craft a contemporary version of this famous speech and present their adaptation...
